A brilliant, succinct analysis of the use of drones
I've long time been an anti-drone person, as used for both surveillance and destruction. It's a knee-jerk reaction I've experienced as I've seen so many wars and intrusions on privacy over my time on Earth, and this last expansion of snooping and killing capacity of man has drawn from me a reflexive reaction. But here, briefly and effectively stated, is an essay that focuses on precisely the issues I've not regarded in my reaction to the use of drones to kill, and I'm humbled by its incisiveness.

I agree that the prospect of cheap and easy killing might tempt the USA into unnecessary number of missions: There are so many people, IMO, in the world who simply need killing. OTOH, I would never take just a knife into a gun fight if I had an alternative. As for domestic policing and surveillance, I love drones. I trust my government more than I trust my fellow Americans.
